Liaoning

The Golden Triangle

Dubbed the "Golden Triangle" thanks to its borders with the Yellow Sea, Bohai Sea, and the Yalu River, Liaoning attracts tourists for the beauty of its nature in the hinterland, and bustling industrial cities on the coast. With over 2,100 km (1,300 mi) of coastline backed by rugged cliffs, a holiday in Liaoning provides the choice between relaxing on the beach or hiking in the mountains among towering peaks and pines. Several UNESCO-protected imperial palaces and royal mausoleums stand out as architectural treats, while the ruins of ancient cities lay under the shadow of the Great Wall of China. Other things to see in Liaoning include World Heritage mountain sites, the world’s largest Buddha statue made of jade, and a whole host of impressive pagodas.
